"Prayers should not be offered in mosques in which there are graves. The graves should be dug up and the remains transferred to the public graveyards, with each set of remains placed in an individual grave as with all other graves."
You forget who is buried in the mosque of the nabi? who is buried in the kaba?
Is it Al-shabaab's right to determin who worships and how they should worship?
There is just no way on earth they will be allowed to maintain control in the region!
Unless they are absorbed into Sheriff's group they wont be around very long. Overall they stain the name of islam.
Look there are shirnes all over the muslim world that have been there thousands of years, but to say that we should get rid of the graves because people will fall into shirk is ridiculous, we are muslims and worship none other than Allah. Now there might be a few instances of ignorant baadiyo people who have been told that if they ask such and such sheikh you'll get what you want, its still not a correct arguement for this.
